What We’re Working On

 Last week I mentioned that we have had quite a few quilts go out from our Prayers and Squares group and that it would take  a couple of weeks to show them all. I have the rest of them here for today. There is a very special heart quilt where the colours and the heart theme were requested by the recipient. Four of us worked on it and we were able to get all the piecing done in a single day. That same day saw us make the back and get it layered for quilting. There’s a very bright blue and yellow quilt, sent to a young teenager undergoing treatment for cancer. Her favourite colour is yellow. And then a very bright and happy quilt going to a man whose wife passed away after a lengthy illness. In addition to those finished quilts there are a couple that are in the making stage. I love making samplers and have one in the works. The last block was released today, so I may get the last block sewn up today. There is something so satisfying about sewing a single block. They are usually able to be finished in a single sitting and give a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. We have a lot of batting scraps sitting in a large tote at the church. I am considering doing this sampler as a quilt as you go in order to use some of them up. I also have plans for doing some Christmas baking on my to do list for today as well, so it’s kinda up in the air if I get to that sampler. But there’s always the time that the baking is in the oven.  Anyhow, that’s it for today.
